Sinossi

The Secret Life of Bats takes readers deep into the enchanting and often misunderstood world of bats, blending science, ecology, behavior, and cultural mythology.

The Monster's Bones - The...

David K. Randall

T. Rex. 
 
One of the most iconic and fearsome creatures to ever walk the Earth. But how did the King of the Dinosaurs come to dominate our culture millennia after its extinction? 
 
In this engaging young readers edition of The Monster’s Bones, David K. Randall journeys from prehistory to present day on a gripping, gritty expedition through the history of one of the world’s greatest scientific discoveries. At its heart are two men from vastly different backgrounds: socialite Henry Fairfield Osborn, the president of the fledgling—and struggling—American Museum of Natural History, and intrepid fossil hunter Barnum Brown, who blazed a path out of his small-town life in Kansas with an uncanny gift for uncovering dinosaur bones. When Brown digs up the first Tyrannosaurus rex in 1902, he sets in motion a ruthless race between millionaires, museums, cowboys, and bounty hunters eager to unearth the most formidable dinosaur in history for themselves. With the nation’s public in a frenzy over the discovery of this colossal creature, Brown and Osborn know that whoever claims the bones of the king first reigns supreme. 
 
Compelling and immersive, The Monster’s Bones reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited new understanding of our planet’s history and our place within it.

When Grief Equals Love -...

Lizzie Pickering

When Lizzie Pickering's young son Harry died in 2000, she set out on a journey to understand how she could survive her grief and learn to live with it. In When Grief Equals Love, she details the lessons she's learned from her own experiences and those of others, who share their thoughts in this moving and tender book.

Lizzie opens her diaries, written in the early years after Harry's death, revealing her observations on the grief of his siblings and family, what helped and what hurt. Revisiting those diaries, she reflects on time passing, and what has changed for her and her family since.

Lizzie looks at the myth of closure, survivor's energy and cumulative grief - when life experiences pile up and become too much to bear. She includes interviews with bereaved friends, who share their own insights, and she provides a toolkit based on what has helped her and what she recommends to those she now helps with grief guidance.

In most lives, unfortunately, grief and loss are inevitable. But living with grief can still be living. This book is for those going through grief and anyone who might need to support them. There are no easy answers, but nobody should have to cope alone.
